The performance of the long end (10y+) has been intricately linkedwith just how far the front end can rally and the performance of the latter remains a functionof how data evolves in the coming weeks and months. Specifically, the focus will remain onhow hard andsoftdata evolve and to what extent istariff-relateduncertainty impairingeconomic activity.

We recommend longs in10y Spain vs France given contrasting fiscal fundamentals and the evolving French domesticpolitical picture. Separately, we hold longs in 10y Austria vs 30y Germany (bearing in mindprospects for Austrian fiscal consolidation, and risks tilted to steeper EGB cash curves).Medium-term risks should remain tilted to ASW tightening given the net supply outlook andongoing full-pace QT; we recommend a flattener in the DU-RX ASW box (positioning forrelative underperformance of RX ASW).UK: ASW had caught a bid on discussion of possible regulatory spillover from the UST market.There is little market evidence to suggest a pressing need for change, but speculativepositioning will likely keep <5y spreads supported. But with supply to remain elevated in2025, 10y spreads may continue to experience tightening pressure.InflationEUR: We retain a bullish bias in EUR real rates, seeing potential for term premiumcompression.EUR: We recommend to be long 5y Spain breakevens, part energy-beta hedgedEUR: In RV, we continue to recommend a 5y5y-20yfwd5y HICPx steepener; also a DBRei 33iota tightener.GBP: Back-end UK real yields remain cheap, but may struggle to rally sustainably given globalmacro volatility.GBP: In RV, the RPI forward curve is priced fairly, in our view; we see potential for the curve tobull-flatten if risk-on regime prevails.VolatilityEUR:Mid-leftvol looks cheap as there is little room for further compression in vol riskpremium, while end-of-cycle dynamics and long-term uncertaintyoffersupport.JapanDurationWe look for 10y JGB yields to rise gradually in 2025, led by term premium.
